Police reported that a daughter, who was present when the stabbing occurred, told them that “her dad swung and hit her mom and then she stabbed him.”

The bloody knife was found near the kitchen sink and taken as evidence.

Piapot was released from jail the next day and sought out police to explain her release conditions, which included having no contact with Stanley and a curfew from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. She was to appear this week in court on a second-degree assault charge.

Police said that Piapot had thrown a salsa dish at Stanley and missed, and then charged him. He told police that he pushed her away and that’s when she got a knife and stabbed him.
